Legacy Posters stirring trouble

and I thought I carefully picked pink so it wouldn't cause any laughter. I obviously was not thinking clearly.

Well, don't feel too bad Amby, I love the pink.

I will also report you if you continue to lump me in with your rag tag accusations against your perceived 'lock-step' Bog, whatever that is.

Most of our journeys are over

Noted, and noticeable. If such legacy members are not contributing positively in the upper fora even once in a while, then why is remaining on VisaJourney so very crucial, especially when there are dozens of political and social websites available for the kinds of discussions (and tones of discussion) that these legacy members insist on having?

I think people have formed friendships on here with people who went through the immigration process at the same time they did. They stick around and interact with them.

It really is none of your business why legacy members continue to post, there is nothing wrong with doing so, it is not against any policy of VJ. When and if it is, raise the issue, until then, your post comes across as churlish.

Noted, as stated in the past. However, is this a reason or a rationale for taking such tones with each other? Does it fit with the purpose of the VisaJourney site? These are honest questions, without rancor. Look at the title of this thread. Perhaps some people should look at the title of this thread and give themselves a long look in the mirror.

You're still continuing your crusade to purge VJ of those you don't like in OT. Again, i'll pose the same question to you that I issued to Darnell, isn't suggesting that people leave VJ, even in your pseudo-subtle manner against TOS?

Unless "some members are more equal than others," I'm as entitled to weigh in on it as is anyone. The issue is not whether it's wrong for legacy members to post; it's the nature and (more often) the tone. This is the Site Discussion forum. Read the title of this thread, and please ask yourself how the tone of your post (quoted here) fits or belies this thread's title.

Please name three people, or two, or one, in OT about whom I have expressed dislike. Do it now, in this thread.

Si, senorita, si.

Even if I didn't care for pink, I would respect the opinion of someone who did, si man.

Your question was provocative because it suggested that there was something sinister in the fact that people continue to post when they are no longer actively involved in the immigration process. I am quite entitled to tell you that your question was intrusive.

Anyone who thinks BY has a point should look at how many threads he has derailed or attempted to derail with this garbage.

Perhaps this proves some statements by others that the message is overlooked because of the messenger. We can pretend that this thread was started by Jim Smith (purportedly the most common name in the U.S.) and focus on the title.
